SOUL, discreet, from (xod, 

Down from tlie Heavens camt' 

A blue-eyed lassie, 

Sweet, and plump and fair 

As tli«' mornini; lii^lu. 

And my l)al)y boy 

Is now a father — 

Faithful, fond and true. 

The strange)- eame 

With two celestial guards, 

Sent from highest Heaven, 

And fond they watch 

The infant growth. 

May't prove a magnet true, 

To draw our loving hearts 

Vi> to the sweet world 

From whence it came.

Seems warbling measures sweet. 
No wings are putting forth, 
P>ut little liands and feet. 



A charming little thing, 

With tender notes atrill, * * 

And, sailing in sweet robes, ^ 

Subdues the hearts at will. ^ 

Dear little honey bee, ° 
Dispensing sweets so well, <; 

We love thee, my darlinii, '

And ever keep thee there. • , '
